The short answer is yes, for those config files that need to stay in
sync with their binaries. =20

Things that need to stay in sync with external environment (this
includes not only user data but IP allocations, addresses, netmasks,
gateways) want to be managed as user data; only the most recent version
of that sort of stuff is valid, so you'd want to fetch it from a
well-known server (DHCP, rsync, NFS, AFS...).

Making the split this way has helped me a lot in deciding what the tool
should handle and what it should keep its mitts off of.
